Solo artist Ailee has lent her beautiful voice for the OST of MBC’s new Monday-Tuesday drama “Triangle.”

While the song titled “Do My Hair” was already featured in the first episode, the singer’s identity was not revealed. The mysterious female has now been confirmed to be Ailee, and a representative of the drama introduced the track, “Like the story, the song has caught the viewers’ attention and helped them fall into the mood of the drama.”

With its soft and emotional guitar sound, the song is a perfect fit for the love story of Dong Soo (Lee Bum Soo) and Shin Hye (Oh Yeon Soo). The scenes show young Dong Soo (No Young Hak) and Shin Hye (Kim So Hyun) meet for the first time, and even back then, they could sense the innocent sparks between them. As they spend time together, their feelings develop, and Dong Soo becomes the first love of Shin Hye.

Finally, the two meet as young professionals after being separated for years, and the theme song has raised the excitement for the couple’s future romance.

“Do My Hair” was also used as background music for the romance of Heo Young Dal (Kim Jae Joong) and Oh Jung Hee (Baek Jin Hee), and the first meeting between the separated brothers Heo Young Dal and Jang Dong Soo.

JYJ‘s Junsu is fast on his way to become the king of OSTs with his latest release of the track “I Love You” for the drama “Empress Ki” OST.

“I Love You” is written and composed by Jo Young Soo. Used in the background during romantic and heart-breaking scenes in the drama, “I Love You” is sure to enhance the complicated emotions of the love triangle between Ki Seung Nyang (Ha Ji Won), Ta Hwan (Ji Chang Wook), and Wang Yoo (Joo Jin Mo).

Empress Ki is a 50- episode historical drama that has been topping the ratings. The drama follows the complicated life of Empress Ki as she is torn between the Goryeo and Yuan Dynasty, and the men leading each one.

Meanwhile, Junsu, who will be on the stage as the leading role in a musical for the 50th birth celebration of the late Kim Kwang Suk , he will also release a special album under the title of “Musical December 2013 with Kim Junsu” on December 18.

Wow Junsu fans eat your heart out! Recently, the OST “Stupid Heart” for the drama “Heaven’s Order” was released and it heated up online music charts the moment of its release! Junsu stated via Naver’s Official Line, “The OST is revealed. I hope that you give a lot of love for both ‘Stupid Heart’ and ‘Heaven’s Order.’ Currently I am filming an advertisement with Jaejoong and Yoochun. The lyrics are so sad.”

The picture released with the message shows Junsu making a sad expression.

Netizens commented, “Wow! You can really trust Kim Junsu!” “Junsu really moves you,” “His voice cannot be replaced,” and “His voice sounds so sad – It fits in so perfectly with the love between Lee Dong Wook and Song Ji Hyo.”

I admit that I’m a bit behind on my opinion of the new drama “Queen of Ambition” that stars one of my favorite people–Jung Yunho. Yes, this American eo-meo-ni unabashedly proclaims that Yunho is her favorite in this drama. What can I say? Yunho has this boyish charm thing going on that just disarms you from the start. He’s playing sweet naughty, but as this drama progresses I am interested in seeing how Yunho intends to mature the character of Baek Do Hoon, a hockey enthusiast. I guess that could be up to the producer, writer, and director, but it also the responsibility of the actor to convince the viewers that this role is believable. It’s a bit early to say, but I am enjoying Yunho immensely.

The lead female character Joo Da Hae seems a bit stiff, but this is probably deliberate. After all, she has to portray someone who kills and agrees to cover it up to advance her personal career.. She tends to be judgmental, drawing back from Ha Ryu, her lover and the father of her daughter, when she discovers that he has been providing for the family by working as a male prostitute. She had attempted to go this way years before, and Ha Ryu rescued her and has given up everything–his dignity and his body– to put her through college.

My sympathies are with the young lovers because they lack wisdom, and out of this lack arises a murder cover-up and a life of hiding from Joo Da Hae’s step-brother.

There is also another element present in this drama–the older CEO sister of Baek Do Hoon [Yunho]. Hints have been dropped here and there that seem to indicate that Do Hoon is her son, not her younger brother.

BTW, I am happy to see Ha Ryu’s aunt being portrayed by veteran actress Lee II Hwa. She starred with Jung Yunho in “Heading To The Ground”. If I’m in error please correct me. 🙂

I will write again after absorbing a few more episodes. This drama is well written, directed and produced.

Update:

O.K. I just absorbed a few more episodes as I promised and My! My!My!. I’m almost speechless, and, if you have been visiting this blog over time you know that is not my norm. This woman is unbelievable. As long as things are looking up she is right with you. As soon as her little imaginary world starts to topple, she’s ready to ditch you and start clinging to the next available rock. What woman deserts her child like this? The Momma Bear in me is starting to snarl!!! This reminds me of Miss Ripley in some respects because both women are manipulators, but I believe Miss Ripley was less mercenary than Joo Da Hae. They both faced loss early in life, and I sympathize with Joo Da Hae concerning the sexual abuse, but even taking her early childhood into account–there is no justification for the way she treats those who love her. She is a formidable enemy, and she has one many-faceted goal in mind–prestige, money, power, and success. Joo Da Hae is driven by fear–fear of being without provision and without love. Somehow she remains a small girl who wants everyone to take care of her, right or wrong. I cried with Ha Ryu, the most loving, naive man possible, when she told him that she knew what he did at his job. He was suffering all of that degradation just to please and provide for her. She gave him disrespect in return.

Right now, this drama is sizzling on the bar-be. There is a volcano poised to blow at any moment and when it does I guarantee you that Joo Da Hae will be safely conniving to be somewhere else. Let’s see what’s cooking up for next week. In the meantime here are a couple of the Queen of Ambition OST songs to listen to…
